KIN lEm m VOii VEKSATIOXr" kg-T4e4svrMi,way..Jit good to others with so little expei.se and trouble aa by kindness in conversation". "Words," it is sometimes said, "cost noth ing." At any late kind words cst no more than thia.se which are harsh and piercing. fiut kind words. are often more valued than the most costly gift, and they are often re garded among the best tokens of a desire to make others happy. W e should think that kind words would be very common, tnev are aiuu aunia wu.iuu uc vrry coinnioi so cheana-hut there are many w large as?(CVjBcit f alLother Jano cept kinimess'. They have ma wno nave a iffuace ex- ept ktninsrss. I hey have many bitter words, and witty words, and learned words in abundance; buttheii itocU of kind LnrU is small. The churl himself, one might suppose, would not grudge a little kindness in his language, however closely he clings to his money, but there are persons who draw on their kindness with more reluctance than on their purses, Some use grating Words because they are of a morose disposi ion. Their language, as well as their manners shows an unfeeling heart. Others use rough words out of affec tation of frankness. They may be severe in their remarks, but they claim that they are open and independent, and will not be trammelled. They are not flattciers they say, and this they think enough Jot all the cn'ting speech which they employ. Others wish to bo thought wiity, and they will with equal - WlHercnce wound the feelings of (Vienna or foe, to show their smartness. Some are envious, and cannot bear to speak kindly to others or of them because they do not wish to add to their happiness. Others are so. ill-bred that they seem -Jo take delight in 'tsing unkind words when their intentions are good and their feelings are warm. Their words are rougher than their hearts; they will mako a sacrifice of ease and property to promote comfort, while they will pot deoign to employ the words of courtesy and kind ness. Of these, the Scotch have an im pressive proverb, "that their bark is worse than tlieir bite."

Now for the result. The five rows planted with corn prepared with salt pctre", will yield more than twenty-five rows planted without any prermraiiort. The five rows were untouched by; the worms, while the remainder of the field su tiered severely by tlieir depredations.

The lime had already arrived when intemperance i had become dis reputable: the degradation of this vice was beginning to be seen jn its true colors, and, fortunately, no man could yield himself to it without a deep atain npon his character; he desired that the moral feelings of society up on this subject should he strengthened, and believed that an association amongthe func tionaries of the Government in aid of the common effort, would have a most salutary influence. - !! congratulated the members of th Society upon the p-ospeets before ifiem, and would be happy to oo-opprnte with them in all measures, that would Cotribote to ll)e advancement of the temperance enter prise. j MOONSHINE. our recur w wu uitv"". ? chiWhobd with a pleasing reco'j MnVfMi (hent with the trouble whjeh tics and respQiiNVh -- mmth;nh n bri"s'Ur0!1 weather.
